Sixth investigation

[letsplayamod]

[The sun rises on another quiet day. Quiet because you no longer have any hallucinations toying with your mind. Those familiar faces have vanished to be replaced by those that are left with you. There's fewer of you, and there's once more an unshakable energy that things are soon about to go very wrong.

Will today be different? Time will tell.

It's up to you to greet the day and what it brings. Stay strong, keep your hope. Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here.

There is, at the absolute least, no bodies right outside your doorstep.]

[ Honestly. Riful was furious over someone controlling her body and mind the way Typhon and his mystery patron have over the last few days, but that man of hers specifically... he was completely useless, and yet she still feels almost angry to have lost him.

... Welp, no use in showing vulnerability to any kind of audience! It's time for her to go to the forest and take one of her daily vibechecks. ]

[letsplayamod]

[Get your vibes, Riful. It's all good here.]

[murchada]

[babygirl is still going the fuck through it so we're just kinda. wandering. visiting the elysian fields, you know how it is.]

[letsplayamod]

[It is how it is, but Cerejeira may not get that chance.

As she ventures to the lowest layer, she'll pass through the fourth floor and notice as she nears the stairs that things are amiss.]

[pariunt]

[Last week, and yesterday, was A Lot so he's just going to go hang out with the horses.]

[letsplayamod]

[Look at the horses, the horses are amazing.]

[raisethemoon]

[ Well, it's been...a week. Luna will go and take her flight around the grounds again, starting over by the cliffs. ]

[letsplayamod]

[By the cliffs, you spot that ferdinand has died again.

Wait, no. That's just a weird bird. The area is disaster free.]

[taintedfayth]

[You know his routine, he's up and heading out to the gardens on this fine morning.]

[letsplayamod]

[Enjoy the weather, Seymour. It won't last.]

[stringup]

[ Well, she's going down to the fourth floor crafts room since. She sure has been stalling on those death shrouds. ]

[letsplayamod]

[Well, those death shrouds may have to wait just a bit longer. But we'll be getting back to you, Velvet ;)]

A BODY(S) HAS BEEN DISCOVERED

[letsplayamod]

[There's not much pomp and circumstance. The sky just thrums red, and anyone outside (or a good few floors deep) will hear the Titan's booming voice.]

It would seem that you have two more bodies on your hands. Such a pity... I wonder if you'll be able to solve this one, or if it may just end up destroying you.

I suggest you hurry.

[With that ominous refrain, Typhon fades on the wind and you are left with two dead friends.]

Quark's bar

[letsplayamod]

[Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.]

[sweetsynergy]

[Yeah she'll need to be dragged out of here by a wild Luna, good luck with that.]

[murchada]

[...staff's dwindling. but she still works here. let's say she feels responsible.

she wants to take a look at the bodies.]

[raisethemoon]

[ Luna is also unwilling to leave, which uh looks at the evidence totals probably works out actually! ]

[fillets]

I'll be inspecting this area as well.

[ It's a statement that allows for no response beyond "okay sure." She's here, one of the handful of living people she's invested in is here and going through it, she's killed thousands of people, let's do this!

Is there anything on the bodies she can investigate that won't get in Cerejeira's way? ]

AREA CLEAR

[sweetsynergy]

[Once the evidence is all found, Vanity kneels by Quark and Aoi, tired and silent. After a moment, she reaches again into Quark's jacket, carefully taking out the envelope of tokens and placing it in his grip, closing his fingers around it. She's not sure if that part's important or not. But it's what she saw him do, weeks ago.]

[She doesn't have much on her own person, but there are a few tokens tucked into her capelet. Those carefully go into Aoi's hand, the same way. The repaired charm bracelet goes around her wrist.]

[The capelet goes over both of them, and Vanity just sits, silent.]

Fourth Floor Hall

[letsplayamod]

[Get some air.]

[pariunt]

[Well.

He's here, there's a lot of blood and it makes him antsy, so he's leaving. He may as well investigate.]

AREA CLEAR

[letsplayamod]

Craft Room

[letsplayamod]

[Can't unravel those shrouds anymore.]

[stringup]

[ Well. She's probably one of the only people left who uses this room regularly. Is anything out of place? ]
